The Ministry of Road Transport and Highways (MoRTH) is aiming to create a national record by constructing 13,813 km of highways in the current financial year, its Secretary Anurag Jain said on Friday.
Addressing reporters here, Jain said the ministry aims to eliminate less than two-lane national highways by 2027-28.
The total length of less than two-lane National Highways (NH) was 25,517 km in March 2012 (which was 30.1 per cent of the total length).
